Here are some quick and easy wins to generate cool content people will love:

Screen Books Online

Go to Amazon and seach for books out of your niche (e.g. cake baking).

Have a look at the top selling books and look inside.

Screen the Table of Content and then mix some of the content and make a post out of it (e.g. Best Ingredients for Paleo cakes, The 5 best Paleo Cookies ever, etc.).

You have your first easy wins and some awesome content to start off with.

Questions on Quora

This is an absolute no-brainer. Check your niche on Quora (e.g. cake baking), see what questions are trending and then generate your content accordingly.

This way you make sure that you write valuable stuff for potential readers (they are already actively looking for solutions).

Once your content is done post it on your site and answer some related questions to it on Quora/Twitter/etc. and link to your article.

This does not only help you to generate content, but it will also send potential customers to your site.

Platforms like BuzzSumo

There are a bunch of platforms out there that will tell you what content is currently being shared online. You just need to type in a keyword (e.g. cake baking) and you will see what's currently trending in your niche.

It will also give you an idea what type of content you should create. In this example the top performing post was about how to bake a cake like a pro. If we take a look at the content it tells us that a step by step picture guide with detailed explanations seems to be the stuff people are looking for...

These are just some basic things to get you started. After all it's about experimenting and seeing what works best for your potential audience. Hope that helps...
